We remember that on the voyage out of this island, her pumps had to be worked every watch, night and day, and that it was by this continued perseverance that the leak did not gain ground. We fear, however, that the same spirit of exertion could not be relied on when leaving atropical climate, and if the sugar once got touched so as to chock the pumps, she must of necessity have got water logged, and go down. We cannot but express our regret at the melancholy loss of Cap tain Lotherington, than whom there never was a kinder or more pleasant Commander ; ha was upright and honourable in his dealings, and a perfect gentleman."—Faltnouth (Ja maica) Post.

This day an election took place for an Alderman to supply the place of the late Sir Abraham Bradley King. Four names were sent down to the Common Councilmen for their selection, those of Messrs. Bunn, Hyndman, Halluhan, and Maunders. Before the election commenced the usual questions were put to the candidates, touching their loyalty, their willingness to entertain the Corporation, and their readiness to pay the ne cessary fees, including 1001. to the Blue Coat Hospital. Not one of the candidates would consent to pay the fees, and three of them refused to entertain the Corporation. This is the more remarkable, when it is recollected that the canvassing for votes previous to one of these elections used to be as zealously carried on, as for a Member for the City. The outraged Common Councilmen sent back the names of the inhospitable candidates to the board of Aldermen, calling upon them to amend their return. This, however, they found they could not legally do, and the chopfallen gourmands were obliged to elect one of the candidates who had positively de clined to act, but who had not protested against the ancient and loyal usage of feeding the Corporation. The person chosen is Mr. Maunders, a wealthy baker. STATE OF TIIE COUNTRY.—At the Tipperary Assizes, which have just commenced, Judge Moore, in addressing the Jury, referred to the calumnies which it is customary to write about the state of this country in the English Papers, and instanced that County, of which he had seen it stated in a respectable English Journal that there were 76 cases for mur der to be tried at the present Assizes. Since ke had got the calendar, he found the number of parsons in it charged with murder, and with abetting murder, did amount to that number. Now, how was this ? Simply because not one case had been set down as manslaughter or justifiable homicide, which he had no doubt many of them would be found to be. To such an extent did this system of misrepresentation prevail, that he bad known English ladies to refuse to let their sons come amongst us in the army. In many instances, where the Coroner's Jury had returned a verdict of homicide, " murder" was set down in the calendar as the crime of the prisoner. Be sides, be found many of the crimes had been committed at a remote period—some in 1832, and yet they were all charged upon the present year. Ile could not too strongly reprobate such a system of mischievous misrepresentation and untruth." These, be it remembered, are the sentiments of a moderate Tory. KILKENNY.—CoIoneI THOMPSON—The citizens of Kilkenny , hive held a meeting to repudiate the charge contained in Co lonel Thompson's letter to the electors of Marylebone, charg ing corruption against the former. After denying the charge i the most positive terms, they stated in their resolutions that the nomination of Mr. Ewart arose solely from their es teem for his public c haracter, and was neither suggested by Mr. O'Connell nor any other person unconnected with the Borough—so that they would have returned him, only the stronger claims of Mr. Hume induced them to think that they would be better serving the public cause, by sending him to Parliament, from a scat in which a faction had zealously en deavoured to exclude him. They further added, that the " Irish military chest," and the " Treaty of Kilkenny," had no origin but in the imagination of Colonel Thompson, or some mischievious person who choose to deceive him. They concluded with a vote of thanks to Mr. Ewart, for thernenner in which he had replied to Colonel Thompson, and for the kind and flattering manner in which he expressed himself as regards the elector s of that city. The meetin g was numerous, including nearly all the electors of Kilkenny. Mr. Hume's letter to his constituents, explanatory of his vote in support of Ministers upon the late division, and de• claratory of his views of the present state of p o li t i ca l a ff a i rs, has given the grea test satisfaction. lie declares his strong disapproval of the policy adopted toward s C ana d a, b ut differ ing totally from th e views of those who proposed the censure, he could not vote for Lord Sandon's amendment. " Mr. flume says—" I must candidly admit that I no longer feel the anxiety I have formerly manifested to keep them in office, Still, I was glad the division took such a turn as ad mitted of my voting with them." And in another place the Hon. Member for Kilkenny says—" The past conduct of the Melbourne Cabinet leaves but little hope of a better policy for the future ;" a dding, " I am convinced that no power can long sustain the Whigs without the Ballot. Another election will inevitably give the Tories a majority ; for if the people are to were e a es n r edt the ih n n d ec e . ob p no e vn n ed d ns e i en of fc R eu e na f i o no r nd m e eb r xe s pt: w ,ne s i e l en l have Tory measures, they will be indifferent as to which party o te s t h e obtain re t e w l se ats in Parliament, t o support Mi n i sters w h o a b y o I ; es i i t will th en b e seen that Whigs, strictly so called, jure Reform P a p r ra e irnt a ieei s Ps mall min or i ty i n the three kingdoms. " administer again put t h w t e h h m e i ra c s h e 1 Mr. Hindley paired off Thursday night in favour of Mr. Villiers' motion for Repeal of the Corn-laws, with Mr. Bolling. SOUTH SEA HOUSE.—Thursday an adjourned meeting of the proprietors of South Sea Stock was held at their house in Threadneedle -street, for the purpose of memo rializing the Lords of the Treasury for the completion of the guarantee fund ; J. Franks, Esq., in the chair. The Secre tary read a memorial to the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury, which had been drawn up by the Court of Directors. It de tailed, at great length, the effect of various statutes passed for repealing the South Sea duties, and regulating the affairs of the Company, and concluded by praying that their Lord ships would be pleased to take such steps as they might deem necessary for the completion and transfer to the memorialists of the amount of the guarantee fund. The memorial having then been submitted to the proprietors for their approbation, it was unanimously resolved that the same should be presented forthwith to the Lords of the Treasury; and that as soon as the Directors r ece i ve d any commun i cat i on f rom th e i r Lord ships, a Court o f P ropr i etors s h ou ld b e i mme di ate l y conven ed, in order that th e same m i g h t b e l a id b e f ore t h em.

The average price of Muscovado Sugar, from the returns made in the week ending the 13th of March, 1838, is 375. sd. per Cwt.., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable on the Importa tion thereof into Great Britain. THE ARMY. Major-General Dalbiac, Inspecting General of Cavalry in Great Britain, leaves London this evening for Dublin, to in spect the men and horses of the 7th Hussars, under orders for Canada, after which the troops destined for that service will immediately proceed to Cork for embarkation. On their de parture the King's Dragoon Guards are to move from Dun dalk to Dublin to undergo a similar inspection, and will re ceive a route for Cork to embark for the same destination. The number of horses to be taken out is 20 per troop. The Bth Hussars, from Newbridge, will, it is expected, re place the 7th in Dublin, their various detachments having been called into head-quarters. The 20th Regiment, commanded by Col. Thomas, the ex- Member for Kinsale, has received orders to move from Can terbury to London, and to take up the quarters of a battalion - of 013 Guards in the Tower. The 97th Regiment, at present stati one d at S :oc k port, h as received orders to hold itself in readiness to move in Dublin and replace iu that garrison the battalion of Guards at pre sent quartered there ; on the arrival of the 97th the Guards will receive a route for London via Bristol. The 22d Regiment, from Cork, replace the 23d Fusileers in Dublin garrison. The depot of the sth Regiment at Portsmouth hare enlisted as recruits 50 of the men of the Spanish Legion lately re turned from St. Sebastian. The Times cannot understand how any man, or any party - , will conscientiously discharge a public duty without receiving what it denominates " a quid pro quo" for the service. The thing is possible, however, notwithstanding the very naturaL scepticism of our contemporary. For the decisive majority by which Ministers were enabled to defeat the motion of Lord Sandon we cannot help thinking they have been rather more indebted to the honesty of their supporters, then to the influ ence of that profligate corruption which the Times seems to think is the only motive that can influence the conduct of public men. And, in proof, we are willing to abide by the illustration afforded by our contemporary; not, of course, in its conduct, but in its columns of yestet day. In an article unusually florid with the rhetoric peculiar to Puddle-dock we are told that " the fellows hiring oat their personal service towards the manufacture " of the majority of the Bth have each on account of his vote "titles recognised at the base Treasury to claim some recompense from the produce of the tnxes." For the edification of those unskilled in the mode of acquiring such a " title" our contemporary has given a sketch, which, no mine niutato, bears the impress of a personal reminiscence. By an ingenious exercise the imagination " the fellow" is brought into the presence of a certain Lord M--_-. and the Under-Secretary of the Treasury, whom he addresses pith a familiar boldness that would do no discredit to Benjamin D'ls raeli:—" Lordill—, Mr. Stanley has long since known my wishes, and of course he will now comply with them." Mr. Stanley, in reply, is supposed to plead " the difficulties" under which the Government labour. To whie:: the " fel low" thus courteously rejoins, " Difficulties, IV:e. Stan ley ! Difficulties be damned. If you want my vote, give me your promise ; and if you won't promise me you and Lord M may all go to the devil together. I'll vote for Molesworth, or Peel, or both, and take my chance afterwards with a Tory Ministry." And a good chance it would be, no doubt ! Now, was ever such stupidly absurd stuff as this addressed to any class of readers by the very lowest print? Badly as we think of the Tory mode of " manufacturing a mejority," we would not do them the injustice of imagining such a scene even between Peter Borthwick and Mr. Goulburn, though it is not impossible it may have been founded upon a passage between an agent of their party and a hireling journalist driving a hard b•irgain for the service of his pen. This theory of corruption, however, would not be complete without a practical illustration„ which, it is needless to add, the Times finds in the conduct of the Government towards Mr. O'Connell. Our contempo rary "has learned " that " a certain Colonel Hodges is about to be appointed" to an important consulship. Mr. O'Connell being one of the " fellows" who acquired a " title" by his vote of the Bth of the present month, and being anxious according to this account, to liquidate an obligation incurred to Colonel Hudges for having attended his son in a duel some years since, he has insisted upon his appointment to the con sulship in question, and accordingly lie is about to be appointed. It so happens that upon the 26th of December, 1836, just fifteen months before this division, it was announced in the Morning Chronicle that Colonel Hodges had received his ap pointment from Lord Palmerston, and he has been actually more than twelve months engaged in the active and very efficient discharge of his duties The Times, however, with its usual felicity in alighting upon mares' ❑ests, " has learned that he is about to be appointed." And our readers have seen what a very ingenious application it makes of the discovery.— Morning Chronicle. A curious instance occurred yesterday in the Hull Election Committee, of what very odd notions some very Hon. Gentle men do, on some occasions, form of justice and impartiality. Mr. Earnshaw, the Under-Sheriff of Hull, was the first wit ness examined, all the other witnesses having been ordered to quit the room—a very common and a very proper course, as all experience in courts of justice has abundantly proved. Well, the second witness called was Mr. Earnshaw's clerk ; and being asked by Mr. Hildyard, one of the Counsel for the sitting members, on the voir dire, whether he had been in the room during the examination of his master, he admitted that he had —notwithstanding that he had heard the order of the Com mittee that all the other witnesses were to leave the room. Upon this Mr. Hildyard submitted that, according to the practice of Committees, tliisperson could not give evidence. And what does the reader suppose the decision of the Committee to have been? " \Vhy," replies the reader, " of course that the evi dence of the man was rejected." Well, so we should our selves have guessed; but, behold another striking confirmation of the humiliating truth, that man is naturally prone to error I Reader, the decision of the Committee way precisely the re verse ! The Committee decided (contrary, iedeed, to all practice—but what of that ?) that the evidence of Mr. Earn shaw's clerk should be received ; but whether because he had the advantage of having heard his master'e evidence, or be cause he obtained that advantage by knowingly and wilfully violating the rule which the Committee had laid down, tho Chairman, Sir George Strickland, did not condescend to in form his wondering audience—which is the more remarkable, if it be true, as we are informed it is, that his vote decided the matter, the Committee dividing jive and five. We need hardly say that we can have no positive knowledge as to that fact : but we believe it—first, because we have been told it on what we believe to be good authority— and secondly, because Sir George Strickland, in giving the decision, said he was desired to express the strong opinion of the Committee, thatein future persons who had been present at the examination of witnesses should not themselves be re ceived as witnesses. " Strong opinion," indeed ! We should think so! No Yorkshireman, we apprehend, would risk so close a run a second time, or suffer his friends to risk it, if a " strong opinion" could save them from so great an impru dence. By the way, what did that Government print, which is commonly called the "crawling Courier," mean by an nouncing to its readers last night, that " in the Hull Election Committee there are eight Reformers and three Tories?" Suppose there are—what is that to you, or to us, or to any body else, always excepting Mr. Coppock, who got up the petition, and the worthy Hole-in-the- Wallites, who must pay the costs if it should be found frivolous and vexatious ? But there is an end to the folly and the inmertinenee of these Government scribes—and so we conclude 'for the present. Au recoil., ye curiously just and impartial gentlemen of the Hull Election Committee !— Tinges. No one was surprised at the House of Commons refusing its assent to the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the operation of the Corn Laws, with a view to their repeal. The majority of its Members being land-owners, it was not to be expected that they would voluntarily become parties to any measure which, by reducing rents, would cause a probsble re duction in their incomes. But all parties must feel surprise and astonishment that the industrial classes, who are by these laws annually plundered to the amount cf several millions ster ling-, should regard the continuation of the system with so much indifference and. apathy. With the exception of the landlords—a comparatively small, and, for the most part, an idle and non-productive class—there is not one party in the state whose interests are not most seriously injured by the operations of these laws. Even, as was clearly demon strated in the lucid and philosophic speech of Sir W. Moles worth, the gross demoralization of those of the weaker sex who infest all our large towns may be distinctly, though remotely, traced to the difficulties which the law opposes to procuring the means of sustaining human life. Yet the people seem indifferent to these results 1 In no instance does the cloven foot of Toryism display itself' in more monstrous deformity, than in this and the Poor-law question. While affecting the deepest and most disinterested sympathy for the sufferings of the pauper, and exerting all their might to provoke a popular demonstration against the deficiency of relief, and the severity of the mode in which it is afforded, they combat for the continuance of the law to which pauperism is mainly attributable, with as much zeal as if they were defending their dearest interests from spolia tion. Away with such factious manifestions of sympathy for the poor ! If the Tories he sincere in their desire for the wel fare of the labouring classes, let them consent to the free introduction of food from the cheapest market, and there will be little need of denouncing the severity of the work house system, or the cruelty of the Poor-law Amendment Act, as few or none will be reduced to the ordeal of their opera tion. There is a custom prevails in some of the cantons of Switzerland, which hears a ludicrous resemblance to the conduct of the Tories on these questions. Fifers in these Cantons have the privilege of placing those who offend them in the sunshine near a wall, and then lashing the shadow on the wall. Such precisely is the treatment of the Cora-laws by the Tories; they place these laws, the parent of the evil, in the sunshine of their favour, and lash with demoniac fury the comparatively unoffending shadow—the Poor-law, while the substance of the grievance is allowed to stand rampant over the general misery. Let this substance be removed, and the shadow as a natural consequence roust disappear with it. It was estimated by Mr. Villiers, that upwards offilieen millions and a half sterling were extracted by the Corn-laws from the pockets of the community. This estimate, we are prepared to prove, is much under the actual amount, not a penny of which is appropriated to defraying the expenses of the State, but is wholly engrossed by the landowners, and—we be a pardon for the omission—the Churchmen, who of course come in for their share, as the tithes are proportional to the fictitious standard to which prices are raised. • Thus the landlords and church men are the only classes benefited by a system which throws one class of the people out of employment, exposes another to excessive labour, in order to procure the necessaries of life, and reduces all to penury and demoralization. But even the landowner is not benefited in proportion to the amount wrested from the community, for, independently of poor-rates iocreased by the numbers which the check on manufacture throws out of employment, he bears a share, though a minute one, of the burden, in the increased price of every article of his indi vidual consumption. There is no absurdity more monstrous than that of supposing • that the high price of corn facili tates the payment of general taxation, as if ooe bur den wore to be lightened by the imposition of' another in juxta-position with it. The great majority of consumers, and thus of tax-payers, live by industrial excHon, and the effect of the Corn-laws on this vast majority is to make them pay for sustenance as if existence were a privilege held at Li:, option of landowners, and vouchsafed only through thous tender mercies. The interest of our national debt is, in round nuni bers 28,000,0001. per annum ; the extra price extorted from the consumers of corn is lowly estimated at hi,500.0001. Hence may be deduced the following indisputable conclusion— a conclusion to which public attention cannot be too often nor too forcibly directed—that the abolition ry . the Cora-laws would directly relieve the nation if a bust/ten equal to more than one-half the interest (f the National Debt. Yet the people of the E - npire repose in listless quietude, and see this consummation defeated by their Representatives, as it they had no interest in the question, or had ssme generous patrons amongst their Tory friends, who kindly volunteer to pay their taxes for them.—Morning Advertiser.
